Today,Richard Hughes and pals at Los Alamos National Labs in New Mexico reveal an alternative quantum internet, which they say they’ve been running for two and half years. Their approach is to create a quantum network based around a hub and spoke-type network. All messages get routed from any point in the network to another via this central hub.

Awesome bubble geometry!
YES.
Unlike clocks or any other known objects, time crystals derive their movement not from stored energy but from a break in the symmetry of time, enabling a special form of perpetual motion.

Bioluminescence at the Cell Membrane Produced by NanoLuc and Furimazine. Maciek Smuga-Otto, Brian Rosenberg, Keith V. Wood, Monika G. Wood, Thomas Machleidt, and Matt B. Robers (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA). Artistic rendering of bioluminescence produced by human cells expressing NanoLuc (an engineered luciferase reporter) fused to a membrane-localized β2-adrenergic receptor, illustrated as a computational model bound to the substrate furimazine.
